Melo doesn’t play for 2 or more weeks. JR apparently has knee issues as well — he goes on a 25 minute limit. Dust off Camby — he needs to get into shape anyway, let him play 20 minutes. Play Kenyon Martin 15 minutes at the 5 and Kurt Thomas the rest. If we go 0-5 this road trip, oh well.” #AMEN

Look at how Pop deals with this kind of situations in San Antonio!!! Give Copeland some playing time, prepare him for the playoffs. If James White is a bust (wich I think he is) cut him and make room for a valuable player down the stretch!!!

-Shump looked really good
-I forgot how much I liked Will Chandler
-Ample parking
-Javale McGee reviewed my taxes at half time and “found some shit a mothafukka forgot to itemize”

This team isn’t getting past the 2nd round, and even if healthy, there’s a non-zero chance they don’t make it out of the first round. So, you can either have a 6th seed make the 2nd round, or a 3rd seed lose in the first. And in the latter’s case, Dolan can claim that “if only we were healthy…” while justifying the jacked up ticket prices.

Once you accept that the organization’s goals (profits) don’t match your goals (championships), it’s easier to understand all the decisions. They keep putting bandaids on bullet holes trying to squeeze out a better regular season resume.

If it’s up to me (which of course it isn’t) — Tyson doesn’t play tonight and maybe not the rest of the road trip even if his knee is just a little sore. Melo doesn’t play for 2 or more weeks.JR apparently has knee issues as well — he goes on a 25 minute limit.Dust off Camby — he needs to get into shape anyway, let him play 20 minutes. Play Kenyon Martin 15 minutes at the 5 and Kurt Thomas the rest.If we go 0-5 this road trip, oh well.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m not sure if the Knicks think the playoffs are starting tomorrow or what, but trying to play through all these injuries makes no sense. I’m floored by the idea that Tyson is going to play today “if he can get up and down the floor”. To achieve what ends? The battle for seeding is really not that important in the East. All the teams are mediocre outside of Miami.

The Knicks should be taking every precaution with these guys at this point. Tyson’s next game should be when he is A. Feels 100%. Not just capable of getting up and down the floor, but 100%. Or B. The first game of the playoffs. I understand why the players want to play, but the Knicks orgainzation has to be smart enough to realize that we’re good enough to beat any non-Miami East team when healthy, but then “when healthy” is the key. Patience is the order of the day.

In the last 8 games (month of March) he’s shooting 48% from 3 point range (and now 39.1% for the year on 64 attempts) and has a free throw rate of about 29% (double his rate for the year and 50% higher than last year). To me he looks obviously more locked in on defense as well (PNR defense still a problem but the man-to-man stuff looks much better).

I only watched the first half last night, but one thing I loved about Lawson last night was how hard he worked to get over screens. It’d be great to see Felton or Shump ever do that.
